dotnet clr: I am trying to save an assembly in the bin folder of an ASP.NET application
using the AssemblyBuilder.Save() method. But when I call the save method,
and specify the file name, it saves in the C:\Windows\System32 directory.
The method does not allow you to specify the path (throws an exception).
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks for any help.

Before you define dynamic assembly, set AssemblyName.CodeBase like
myAssemblyName.CodeBase = [String].Concat("file:///",
Directory.GetCurrentDirectory );

Ken - Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the code you provided returns
Windows\System32 as the current directory. It seems that the CodeBase
property is ignored anyway so I don't know if it matters. I used
Server.MapPath and it returns the web directory as intended but when I set
the CodeBase property using that path it just goes ahead and saves where it
wants. I am beginning to think that I may need look at the user that the
web is running under. Thanks again and any other thoughts or suggestions
you might have are welcomed and appreciated.

I found the solution to this problem in case anyone is interested. The
method DefineDynamicAssembly is overloaded. That was a simple one that I
shouldn't have missed.

Overloads Public Overridable Function DefineDynamicAssembly(AssemblyName,
AssemblyBuilderAccess, String) As AssemblyBuilder

Where String is storage directory. In my case I set it to
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "bin/"
